| This is a list of ongoing projects at the [[Pikipedia]] that we could do with some help on. To request that other projects be undertaken, please leave a comment on the [[Pikipedia talk:{{PAGENAME}}|talk page]]. When a project has been completed, its section can be removed from this page.

| | |
| ==Summary==
| |
| To attempt projects requiring 'some' Pikmin knowledge, you should have played through most, if not all, of the game; for those needing 'a lot', you should be familiar with the details of the related area of the game. Technical difficulty means MediaWiki knowledge - 'medium' projects involve using general formatting code, while 'hard' projects utilise more advanced devices such as templates.
| |
| | |
| Of course, these are just guidelines - feel free to try any of the projects listed anyway. If you read through [[Help:Editing]] and you can follow instructions, you should be able to cope with any technical difficulty level.

| ==Details==
| |
| ===Max deaths===
| |
| <s>A new attribute has been added to the [[:Template:Infobox enemy|enemies' infoboxes]]: max deaths. This is the maximum number of Pikmin that can die in a single attack. However, almost all enemy pages lack info on this subject. We must observe every attack of every enemy, on both games, and write how many Pikmin can die in a single blow, if any.</s> As discussed [[Template talk:Infobox enemy|here]], some values should be gathered first, and then their place will be later decided. As of now, [[User:Espyo|Espyo]] will host a [[User:Espyo/max kills|list]].
| |
| | |
| ===Monologs, Voyage Log entries and ship's dialogs===
| |
| [[Olimar's monologs in Pikmin 1|Olimar's monologs]], [[Olimar's Voyage Log]] and [[Ship's dialogs]] should be placed on pages they refer to, if any, using {{tem|notes}}. To do this, move the text to "Notes:''Article name''/monolog" (or "/voyage" or "/ship") and include {{tem|metadata}} as documented. Then add or change the notes template on the article (see the template's documentation), and transclude the new subpage on the notes listing page it comes from using the alternative form of the notes template (again, see its documentation). Some articles already have these notes, but they are hardcoded into the article, and should instead use Template:Notes.
| |
| | |
| ===Game names===
| |
| Some instances of the names ''Pikmin'' and ''Pikmin 2'' are formatted and named incorrectly. In other words, there are still some articles out there that call the first game "Pikmin 1". There are two things that need to be done. Every time the first game is referred, it shouldn't contain the number 1. And every time either game is mentioned, its name should be ''italicized''. These changes should not break the [[Pikipedia:Policy|policies]], though.
| |
| | |
| Additionally, when referring to the series, ''Pikmin'' must still be italicized.
| |
| | |
| ===Walkthroughs===
| |
| Some articles about enemies, caves and Challenge Mode levels don't have a strategy/walkthrough section. The articles that do have one aren't coherent. Some of them have the strategies in a section on the bottom, others have the strategy hidden within the regular description text; some call the reader "you" and provide walkthroughs, others use the term "the player" and explain strategies in a more general way... A consistent style for these must be discussed sometime in the future.
| |
| | |
| ===Treasures===
| |
| Most treasure articles still lack proper information as to the location and collection of the treasure. A list of treasure articles can be found at [[Treasure Hoard]] or [[Template:Treasures]].
| |
| | |
| ===2-player battle locations===
| |
| Most are short. The pages need data (enemy list, hazard list, Pellet Posy list), descriptions (possible layouts, marble and onion locations, where cherries tend to land) and level-specific strategies. Find a list [[:Category:2-Player Battle locations|here]].
| |
| | |
| ===Ship's dialogs===
| |
| In ''Pikmin 2'', the Ship will usually give out dialog as a form of advice to the player. However only very little dialog has been transferred, and thus ''more'' dialog needs to be added to the [[Ship's dialogs|page]]. Here is a list of what needs to be added:
| |
| | |
| *Pikmin (sighting, obtaining, abilities discovered)
| |
| *Sprays (collecting berries, making spray out of, collecting drop, using)
| |
| *Nectar, nectar weed, rubble
| |
| *Candypop Buds
| |
| *Hazards (fire, water, poison, electricity)
| |
| *<s>Bulbmin</s>
| |
| *<s>Cave (one per cave)</s>
| |
| *<s>Day 1</s>
| |
| *<s>Day 2</s>
| |
| *<s>Day 3</s>
| |
| *End of day
| |
| *Exploration Kit
| |
| *<s>Challenge Mode unlocked</s>
| |
| *<s>Titan Dweevil</s>
| |
| *<s>Debt repayment</s>
| |
| *Pikmin extinction
| |
| *Discover treasure (beginning cut-scene)
| |
| | |
| If this list is missing something or need to talk about something about the project in general, suggest it [[Talk:Ship's dialogs|here]].
| |
| | |
| ===Image descriptions===
| |
| Images require, for the most part, vastly improved descriptions. These do not have to be long or detailed, but concise and accurate, just a sentence about what the image is of, probably with a link to its subject if there's an article on it.
| |
| | |
| ===Pikmin "colors"===
| |
| In order to refer to Red, Yellow, Blue, Purple and White as an individual type, the wiki often uses the term "color" (i.e. "Pikmin color"). However, this isn't a very accurate word, given that [[Bulbmin]] aren't a color. This can be said tenfold with the addition of [[Rock Pikmin]] and [[Winged Pikmin]] in the [[Pikmin 3|third game]]. As such, all instances of "color" (or "colour"), when referring to a Pikmin type, should be replaced with "'''type'''" (or any other synonym).
| |
| | |
| ===Cave sublevel statistics===
| |
| Every sublevel in ''[[Pikmin 2]]'' has a mostly predetermined number of enemies, hazards, eggs, etc. However, the cave guides do not contain these statistics, and therefore need to have the statistics added to them. To see how the statistics should be formatted, please refer to the [[Frontier Cavern#Walkthrough|Frontier Cavern guide]].
| |
| | |
| :[http://stuff.ikn.org.uk/fileshare/caveinfo.zip Here] is the data I have ATM. It's in plain text and wiki format, with both 2nd- and 3rd-level headings. Some numbers may be wrong as we discussed in the IRC - you might want to cross-reference with [http://stuff.ikn.org.uk/stuff/guides/Pikmin%202%20guide.txt my guide] (which may also be wrong...) if any are doubtful. If it would be more helpful with a slight change in format, I can do that fairly easily. <span style="font-family:times;color:#080">'''''[[User:Greenpickle|G]][[User talk:Greenpickle|<span style="color:#050">P</span>]]'''''</span>
| |
| | |
| ===Enemy pronouns===
| |
| When using a pronoun to refer to a specific enemy, the pronoun "it" (or similar it-related pronouns) should be used. However, some enemies are referred to as "he". As such, all mentions of a gender-specific pronoun for an enemy need to be changed to it. (Note: The [[Emperor Bulblax]], [[Empress Bulblax]], [[Male Sheargrub|Male]] and [[Female Sheargrub]] do not need to be associated with "it"; they can also be referred to as "he" or "she", since we know what their genders are.)
| |
| | |
| ===''Pikmin 2'' Challenge Mode cleanup===
| |
| The [[:Category:Challenge Mode levels|''Pikmin 2'' Challenge Mode level articles]] are a mess and don't follow a consistent style.
| |
| | |
| ===Facebook Page Revamp===
| |
| User [[User: Los Plagas|Los Plagas]] has officially taken over the Pikipedia Facebook page, previously owned by Dark Lord Revan, the founder, which can be found here: http://www.pikminwiki.com/User:Los_Plagas
| |
| | |
| He welcomes any suggestions about what to post/do for the page, which can be left on his talk-page! IMPORTANT: If you would like to become an admin on the Facebook page as well, leave a message on Los Plagas's page, and he will do his best! However, he is mainly looking for suggestions on what to do, which will always be welcome!
